Really? Even past the initial spawn? I think thats just bad, haha. There should be enough spawn points after the initial spawn so that they can't be constantly camped.

I never played COD4 long enough to really appreciate it. I always played Halo 3 because I always played with friends at one house.

If MW2 used those stats, then the reload time is 6 seconds. And considering the AC130 is up for about 45 to 60 seconds (I think its 45, but not sure) or shorter if you're shot down, switching in between shots will definitely add to your kill streak.

yeah they spawn on top of each other, overlapping and just continually dying because people are spawn killing

same with me on COD4, or any other one - this new one is the first one I have really played.

spawn tubing ain't bad, it is an annoyance if anything. But those care package sprinters are annoying as hell, but on the flip side its so satisfying to blast one backwards with a shotgun.

I'm glad there are more spawn points in MW2. What I do remember from COD4 were the random grenade kills. Their explosions were so big that you could throw a random one and will probably get a kill.

COD4 looks amazing on computer. I'm sure MW2 also looks amazing. And the spawn camping is ridiculous. That would make me want to quit.

yeah it doesnt even feel like playing a game, its like you spawn and then you try to stay alive and move any number of feet before getting killed.

the guy was camping the whole game, I didn't see him. When I knew where he was and tried to take him out, he killed me. I played with 3-4 people under level 10 and one guy had 21 deaths :shakehead

I've been using the FAL a lot in Hardcore lately, and I decided to switch over to regular TDM and Groundwar and I've been doing really well with it. It's pretty badass with stopping power.

FYI the FAL has the same three-shots-max-to-kill deal just like the UMP. I think SP mainly helps in getting 1-hit headshots... But aside from that it'll kill in two shots for a decent distance, then 3 from afar

It's mostly luck . They need to be stupid and stay outside. Good luck getting that 10+ kill achievement.

Ugh! I've been stuck on 68-69 for like 3 days. I only get about an hour and a half a night to play. And I cant really get in a groove unless I've been playing for at least a half hour. These last levels are really dragging along.

Are you talking about in a match? Or overall? When you say lower score, do you mean less kills? Sometimes I'll be at the top of domination matches with hardly any kills by constantly capturing flags.

I mean your total overall score in the Leaderboards. For example, my score is 486610 and I'm a rank 65 (non-prestige). Mizouse's score is 474450, but he is a rank 70 (non-prestige).

I believe that has to do with k/d ratio. As well as wins/loss. Honestly Im not sure. And the lower the score the better. For example I think Costco is the best here, and he has a 200,000ish score.

I almost want to get a new GT and start from scratch. I spent a lot of time playing capture the flag when i first got the game, and that ruined my K/D ratio.

Sorry I mean my total score, not my rank. But I guess he must have more XP than me.

Yup. Rank is driven by your XP, not your total score.

There is no point if you're going to prestige since you lose it all.
